Mapping Norway Tax Codes (Accounts without SuiteTax)

Important:

This content is relevant for accounts without SuiteTax only. Tax Code mapping in accounts with SuiteTax is done automatically during SuiteApp installation.

For the purposes of a successful report generation, it is necessary to map the NetSuite Tax Codes to Norway Standard Tax Codes for 2022.

For a list of currently provisioned Norway tax codes for accounts without SuiteTax, see Norway Tax Codes.

For a list of currently supported Norway tax codes for accounts with SuiteTax, see Mapping Norway Tax Codes (Accounts with SuiteTax).

Note:

Norway VAT Return report supports mapping tax codes to Advanced Intercompany Journal Entries transaction type.

To map Norway Standard Tax Codes to NetSuite tax codes:

  1. Go to Setup > Tax Audit Files > Audit Files Field Mapping.

  2. In the Category field, select NO-SAFT: Standard Tax Codes.

  3. In the Subsidiary field, select a Norwegian subsidiary.

    Important:

    In case the list shows empty, you must run a script to provision the tax codes. For more information, see Automatic Tax Code Provisioning Workaround.

  4. In the Mapping table, use the dropdown list in the Standard Tax Codes column to assign Standard tax codes to their NetSuite counterparts.

  5. When you have mapped all the codes, click Save.

For more information about tax code provisioning, see Tax Code Calculation.

Creating and Mapping Alternative Tax Codes

Important:

This content is relevant for accounts without SuiteTax only. Tax Code mapping in accounts with SuiteTax is done automatically during SuiteApp installation.

Most NetSuite Tax Codes are exclusive to either sales or purchase transactions. However, some are available for both sales and purchase transaction. These can no longer be mapped to Standard Tax Codes directly, but need to be divided into two Alternative Tax Codes, one each for sales and purchase. Before mapping the Alternative Tax Codes, you will need to create them first.

Important:

Mapping a Standard Tax Code to a NetSuite Tax Code which is available for both sales and purchase transactions will result in failed report generation.

To create Alternative Tax Codes

  1. Go to Setup > Tax Audit Files > Audit Files Field Mapping.

  2. In the Category field, select NO-SAFT: Standard Tax Codes.

  3. In the Subsidiary field, select a Norwegian subsidiary.

  4. Click the Create Alternative Tax Codes button.

  5. In the Alternative Tax Code field, enter the name of the Alternative Tax Code you want to create

  6. In the Tax Code field list, select the NetSuite Tax Code you want to create an Alternative Tax Code for.

    Note:

    Be sure to select a tax code available for both sales and purchase transactions.

  7. In the Alternative Tax Code Description, enter the description that will help you with identification.

  8. In the Alternative Tax Code Transaction Type list, choose the transaction type you are creating the tax code for.

  9. Click Save.

  10. Repeat the previous procedure to create a second Alternative Tax Code for the same NetSuite Tax Code. In step 8, if you created the previous tax code for the Purchase transaction type, select Sales for the second one.

  11. When the Alternative Tax Codes are created, you will be able to see and map them to Standard Tax Codes in Setup > Tax Audit Files > Audit Files Field Mapping.

    Important:

    Reload the Audit Files Field Mapping page to update the list of tax codes available.
